Such generalizations! White hats all suck! How about pretentious emos who collectively send out the vibe equivalent of a funeral. Seattle's emo/hipster scared to rock crowd cannot pass soon enough. I've seen shows at the Croc where enthusiastic people who actually equate music with fun were shunned because they actually responded to the music. There's a reason this scene is so boring...

...kind of like going to the Showbox on any night of the week, where you'll be exposed to yammering fuckwits who talk through all but the popular radio songs. I won't see my favorite bands at the Showbox anymore because I'm too tired of the "frat party with bands as background music" scene. It's too bad that these disrespectful white hats have been exposed to the Crocodile. There is a long list of places that they have ruined in Seattle, maintained by people who just want to hear the music.

"The douchebags... are attracted to sponsored events where someone or some company will be more than happy to tell them what to think." Well said. And as for VW: They had everybody talking a couple months ago. Tons of street buzz. And then I heard them on KEXP, and well... yea. Not my thing. Cool name tho.

A morning show host sponsored event for KEXP doesn't usually attract clueless douchebags to hang out. What show was Seattlest at - Endfest? Get a clue Jeremy...

#5--Complete BS. The douche quotient is inevitably higher at any radio station sponsored event or festival of any sort. The douchebags--not being clever enough to figure out what's cool or at least what they should act like they're in to to be with it and hip--are attracted to sponsored events where someone or some company will be more than happy to tell them what to think. Also: any event that promotes binge drinking in public. Like moths to the flame they are for that shit.

I must have been at a different show. I find the KEXP crowd much easier to deal with than the usual Croc crowd.

Glad you posted this because I couldn't agree more. We were threatened by one douche looking to pick a fight just because we were standing still during Jamie T's set. I left wishing that shows like this paired bands together in a more thoughtful manner.

Welcome to Seattle, Audrey. Get used to it, that post-event sense of failed expectations. Eventually, you'll find your corner spot in your favorite bar; until then, your bitching sounds a bit displaced and unseated.

how hyperliterate can Vampire Weekend be if they refuse to see the value in an oxford comma?

Actually, everything about Vampire Weekend is making me angry. Albeit, I'm in a slightly rabid mood, but douches are attracted to douches, so my anger may be justified.

Also, so is Vampire Weekend's website.

Jamie T is a douchebag.
